This is the first recipe that I felt I needed to rate. I misplaced it and had to resort to another recipe....very disappointing. This is the best sausage gravy recipe ever. I have rave reviews when I make it, as a matter of fact, a few people only know me by this treat at work. This is definitely 5 stars. No changes necessary!!

Best candy apple pie: a classic cinnamon-spiced double-crust apple pie crowned with a bubbling brown sugar, cream, and pecan caramel poured right over the top. Apple pie meets pecan praline.

Hummingbird cake stacks three layers of banana-pineapple-pecan cake under tangy cream cheese frosting. Southern church-supper royalty, no mixer required, just stir and pour. The crumb stays moist for days thanks to fruit and oil.

Chicken Marbella, the legendary Silver Palate dish, marinates chicken overnight with prunes, green olives, capers, garlic, and oregano, then bakes in white wine and brown sugar. The ultimate sweet-savory make-ahead dinner party centerpiece.

Stuffed manicotti with spinach and ricotta filling, sliced mushrooms, tomato sauce, and melted mozzarella. Plus an alternate ground beef filling for a heartier take.
